Half marathons in states stretching across the country are offering RaceJoy’s innovative live GPS tracking, from Florida to Michigan to California!

Half marathons continue to be a very popular race in the United States and appeal to runners of all fitness abilities. According to Running USA, the 13.1 is the second most popular running distance and 5Ks continue to be the most popular.

With such a high demand by runners, it’s no surprise that the majority of races available in RaceJoy this weekend are half marathons:

RaceJoy offers the most advanced form of tracking available in the running industry. With RaceJoy, participants and their supporting family and friends have access to live, real-time tracking of up to 50 participants on a map view in addition to progress updates provided at every mile on the course.

The live tracking feature utilizes the race’s official race course and notifies participants of their progress with information like pace and estimated finish time.

The GPS-based progress alerts are issued to the participants in audio format so they can get the information without looking at their phone. Spectators receive the alerts as in-app notifications. Spectators can also zoom into the interactive map to see the exact location of their runner.

Through RaceJoy, participants and spectators can also send cheers instantaneously and can send either pre-recorded cheer clips or custom Text-to-Cheer messages. Participants and fans use this feature as a way to connect and show support before, during and after the race.

If you’re interested in adding your race to RaceJoy and offering the most form of advanced runner tracking for participants and spectators, affordable pricing options are available for any race or sponsor to offer this experience. Innovative tools for race organizers are also included such as race day monitoring, tracking race operations team and a news alert system. Contact us at info@racejoy.com.
